Bruce's debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ, is released in the US.

1973

Spring

Bruce and the E Street Band tour both the East Coast and the West Coast in support of the new album. In May and June they even play some gigs as the opening act for Chicago. These gigs, playing large arenas for crowds indifferent to his music, make Bruce vow never to play arenas again, a vow he would break only three years later.
